Mumbai-based singer-songwriter Saachi reflects on the pandemic in her latest release, an intoxicating Halloween offering ‘Doom’s My Religion,’ featuring music producer Ayan De.
‘Doom’s My Religion’ peels away the bopping sonics of Saachi’s earlier outings, such as ‘If There’s a Sign,’ ‘Stop,’ and ‘Do/Dont.’ Released on November 2, this collaborative piece by Saachi and Ayan invites reflection on the nature of terror, decay, loss, and survival.
The new single picks up with a devilish piano score, gradually cobbling an alternative-pop theme, weaved together with steady drum action and Saachi’s clement vocals. Lyrically, the composition plunges into the terrible events of the COVID-19 era through the lens of the virus.
The artist submits, “When looking back, the pandemic feels like a bad dream we were all collectively stuck in. We lost people, time, and in a way- ourselves. Atleast some part of it. Doom’s my religion is COVID-19 personified.”
“The song was written in 2021, right after the third wave of the virus. I think everything was so all-encompassing at that time that when Ayan played me the piano idea and beat, it immediately clicked and visually played out in my head. It was almost as if I was the sadistic spokesperson of this destructive force. A force that wanted to doom everything as if that’s all it knew,” said Saachi. “The song aimed to paint what destruction feels like, something you want to ‘disinfect and run’ from.”
